Listening to the Fancast I got to thinking about the haze and the pile of zombie bodies outside
the Arena. Maybe the reason they kept the zombie bodies outside and didn't eat them was because they gave off the haze?
It's so odd:
- The haze seems to have something to do with turning people into zombies
- But the zombies avoided the area the haze was strongest because it was supposedly toxic to them (tho they might be used to it now).
- Decomposing zombies give off some version of the haze.
- But zombies can and do eat each other (maybe only if the victim/loser is alive).
- When they brought back the dead bodies of other zombies, they didn't seem to eat them.
Maybe like how the regular zombies can't tell the difference between a
Skittles smell and an authentic zombie; they also can't smell the difference between a zombie and a human after they are dead.
Maybe they brought back all bodies they found and smarter ones sorted out the inedible ones when they got to the Arena?
It reminds me of a sad news story a few years ago where a
woman had been taking DMSO for pain (she had terminal cancer) and while she was in the emergency ward her body began to give off toxic fumes. The nurses working with her passed out and had symptoms for months afterwards. Because
the hospital were aiming for d#####es of the year by saying it was all in the nurses imagination; they did all this research into figuring out what had happened. It was finally determined that it was due to chemical reactions between her body and the DMSO that caused her body to give off a toxic gas.
